I honestly believe Steve Jobs would never have greenlighted
I think the same about iOS7. I recall reading he was fussy even about button size, down to the pixel. iOS7 is just too dang small, unclear and bright. Thankfully my 2nd gen iPad is in perfect condition so I will continue using it for some time to come.
As for iPad, I have a 1st Gen and a 2, I skipped the 3 and 4. I honestly believe Steve Jobs would never have greenlighted those last two, even with a Retina, simply because they were thicker and heavier than their predecessor. That's not like Apple at all and I believe he would have tore up their design and demanded them to "start over and don't come back til you have it right!" I may or may not trade in my 1st Gen for a 5, depending on how good it is. (Never getting rid of my 2) I'll wait for the Keynote.
It doesn't matter.
Like Scott Forstall, Steve is no longer an officer of the company and has no say in how it is run.

You have to shut up. It’s for your own good; you look like a complete idiot.
Selection of products released by Apple under Steve Jobs that were heavier and/or thicker than their predecessors:
I think it's the color palette. Nothing I've seen in Mavericks makes me think that all those pastels are pointing to OS X.
Color,
Timing (it was this time last year that the last iPad event was held).
Fact that Mavericks was already presented and anything here would be likely a very casual mention of the date and pricing.
A phrase like 'a lot more to cover' implies they are going to focus in the things apple hasn't had in a keynote or released on the QT already and the big for that is iPads

You have far too much time on your hands and a peculiar way in which you use it. Your retort is a little excessive and unnecessarily harsh (not that that's anything new.)
Then one iPad update with ios7.1 and iCloud with, for instance, a storage capacity for photostream similar as flickr's
1. Such an iCloud update is more likely to be mentioned with iPhones
2. Shared photostreams, especially with the public website, basically is there. Only difference is the lack of a public homepage, which I admit is something I wouldn't mind Apple bringing back

For some reason, I'm not buying that this will be an iPad, Mavericks/Mac Pro-only event, it would feel too routine. I think the tag line along with the more colourful than usual invite rather suggests that they want to discuss a large video display, perhaps the long rumoured true Apple TV or a retina iMac?
Personally I think the reason for the bigger venue is the desire for a large and more diverse audience. Some sites focus in computers not devices so they wouldn't care about the iPhone. But there would be something here for them. And even some general tech and entertainment type media might be on the list
Why? Because this is the final announcement. Everything for the year they haven't talked about or done.
So what kind of stuff, it some or all of:
iPads
Mavericks release date and pricing
iOS/OS iLife and iWork
Pro apps
Apple TV STB revamp for AC wifi, perhaps also h.265 support
Mac Pro release date
New cinema displays, hopefully with HDMI and new sizes to make them useful as a TV screen and even perhaps 4k computer monitor use
New stuff in the iTunes stores, such as h.265 support both for small files and better quality. Pricing, release dates, finally getting extras back on the ATV and into iPads if not also iPhones. Better discovery
New Mac mini
New notebooks

When their new Campus 2 presentation centre is built, they should just put LCD displays all over the walls instead of these silly analog posters
They'd better be IGZO.

I’m sick of FUD.
Simple.
Take it easy man. You're going to give yourself a heart attack. You sound like me arguing with people about the recent government shutdown
Oh, that was YOU, was it?! Well, it was [name]’s fault! [Gender pronoun] caused the [political party] to shut the government down, and you KNOW IT!
